31-161 According to the same documentation, it is narrated on the authority of Ali ibn Al-Husayn (a.s.) that Asma Bint Omays said, “I was with (the Blessed Lady) Fatima (a.s.) when God’s Prophet (S) entered. (The Blessed Lady) Fatima (a.s.) was wearing a golden necklace which Ali ibn Abi Talib (a.s.) had provided for her from his own share of war booties. God’s Prophet (S) said, ‘O Fatima!

Will not the people say that Fatima - the daughter of Muhammad is dressed in the attire of the oppressors?’ She immediately took it off, sold it, bought a slave with the money and freed him. Then God’s Prophet (S) became happy.”
